Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
I like the title. I'll get something going soon. Mwhaha.
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style.
Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
I am done with my song. Is there a place for me to post the lyrics?

I may or may not be working tomorrow. If I'm not, I'll try and get this out of the way, even though I'm not inspired at all.

Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
It's too wet outside, so I have no work. I've written a chorus and a verse. Maybe I'll just go with simple song structure and finish this mess today.

Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
Okay, got something written and am in the middle of recording. I will be one of the many who rhymes "go kart" with "kick start," but maybe the judges will be impressed with the clever way I build up to it. Or my references to TWO movie actors in the bridge.
In any case, I'm kinda liking how this one is coming out, feeling pretty good about making it to round 1, anyway...

Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
Got the lyrics, chord prog., and a couple ideas for second guitar--will most likely have the usual issues with poor recording equipment (leading to bad recordings), lack of experience with drum synthesization, and bad vocals.king_arthur wrote:Okay, got something written and am in the middle of recording.

On the up and up, though, I drop no less than 5 names, maybe 7 if you count first names.

Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
Does it have to be an actor/actress or can it be someone who is notorious in general? Or someone associated with film, but not an actor?

Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
Frankie, I'm not really speaking for all the judges here, but to me "actor/actress" was meant to be interpreted literally. I think one possible litmus test would be if the person has stage/TV/film credits as actor on the IMDB, for example.

I was not joking. My guy is more of a producer/writer than an actor.

I recently did an 8 week run in the chorus of a local amateur production of HMS Pinafore. Feel free to drop my name if you like.

Oh. I was an extra in Without Consent. I know that from the back of my head, it looks like I'm sullenly eating food in a mental health facility, but I was totally just pretending to eat the food.

And for Frankie - mine is a real actor, with multiple failed marriages, bouts of depression and at least one pet that was killed by a car. CERTIFIED, baby!

Re: Nur Ein III: Round Zero
I was all, like, bummed, because my wife has forbidden me to rhyme "Kick Start" with "Heart" and so I lost my inspiration.
Then I came here to complain, and realized I'd neglected to take note of the non-optional challenge.
So now I am freshly inspired. I LOVE YOU NUR EIN!
